Stopping and parking
Apply the brakes fully and put the engine into neutral. To stop the engine,
switch off the ignition. Close fuel tap. Park on solid ground and lock the
vehicle.
– MOTORCYCLE ENGINES PRODUCE A GREAT AMOUNT OF HEAT WHILE RUN-
NING. THE ENGINE RADIATORS, EXHAUST, EXHAUST SYSTEM, BRAKE DISCS,
AND SHOCK ABSORBERS CAN BECOME VERY HOT. DO NOT TOUCH ANY OF
THESE PARTS AFTER OPERATING THE MOTORCYCLE, AND TAKE CARE TO PARK
IT WHERE PEDESTRIANS ARE NOT LIKELY TO TOUCH IT AND GET BURNED.
– NEVER PARK YOUR MOTORCYCLE IN PLACES WHERE THERE EXIST FIRE HAZ-
ARDS DUE TO DRY GRASS OR OTHER EASILY FLAMMABLE MATERIALS.
– PARK YOUR MOTORCYCLE, SO THAT IT RESTS STABLY ON THE SIDESTAND (HARD
GROUND, LEVEL SURFACE) AND CAN’T TIP OVER.
– CLOSE THE FUEL TAP WHEN LEAVING YOUR VEHICLE.OTHERWISE THE CAR-
BURETOR CAN OVERFLOW AND FUEL WILL ENTER THE ENGINE.
– ALWAYS TAKE OUT THE IGNITION KEY WHEN PARKING YOUR MOTORCYCLE
SO THAT IT CANNOT BE USED BY UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS.
NOTE REGARDING THE SIDE STAND:
Use your foot to kick side stand forward up to the stop and lean the motorcy-
cle sideways. Make sure that the ground is solid and that your motorcycle is
standing securely. Just in case, you can shift into first gear.
THE SIDE STAND IS DESIGNED TO BEAR ONLY THE LOAD OF THE MOTORCYCLE.
THE SIDE STAND AND/OR THE FRAME CAN BE DAMAGED AND THE MOTORCYCLE
CAN FALL OVER IF YOU MOUNT THE MOTORCYCLE, THUS PUTTING AN ADDITIONAL
LOAD ON THE SIDE STAND.
Refueling
In the condition at delivery, the LC4 engine requires leaded or unleaded pre-
mium-grade fuel with at least RON 95 (USA = Premium RON 91).
If this type of fuel is not available it is easy to change over to the pre-pro-
grammed ignition curve for 80 - 94 octane (RON) (see activating the ignition
curve for low-octane fuel).
USE LEADED OR UNLEADED PREMIUM-GRADE 95 OCTANE (RON) FUEL. IF USING
LOWER OCTANE FUEL, THE IGNITION CURVE MUST BE CHANGED, OTHERWISE
ENGINE DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND POISONOUS. EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD
BE USED WHEN HANDLING GASOLINE. DO NOT REFUEL THE MOTORCYCLE NEAR
OPEN FLAMES OR BURNING CIGARETTES. ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE
BEFORE REFUELLING. BE CAREFUL NOT TO SPILL GASOLINE ON THE ENGINE OR
EXHAUST PIPE WHILE THE ENGINE IS HOT. WIPE UP SPILLS PROMPTLY. IF GASO-
LINE IS SWALLOWED OR SPLASHED IN THE EYES, SEEK A DOCTOR’S ADVICE
IMMEDIATELY.
Fuel expands when its temperature rises. Therefore do not fill the tank to the
top (see fig.).
